Livin' On

Patrick simmons

You can see from the top of the hill
Tangled streets and the mystery there
Painted lanterns hang from balconies
People running everywhere

Chinatown, with all your dark mystery
Chinatown, chinatown
Your spell is capturing me

Lovely ladies with almond eyes
Dressed in silk and laces
Twilight falls and the shadows move
Silently in secret places

Chinatown, with all your dark mystery
Chinatown, chinatown
Your spell is capturing me

You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Who are you
Where you been
How'd you come into my life
I just know once you get started

Girl, i been throwin' my heart in
You're just like walkin' in a danger zone
A chance i just had to take
You're like a drink i needed so bad and found

If no one pulled my head back in time, i would drown
Oh, i get lost in your eyes
I crossed the line for you so long ago
Now i find truth in your lies

You got me cornered with my back to the wall
Takes all i've got just to hold on
Through all the disappointment
Love still remains

Darling, you're made that way
Girl, you're made that way
"you were just a lonely man
Living through your empty plans"

I know you're made that way
I know you're made that way

Say it please
Say you will
Come back and be in my life
Girl, if you just put your heart in it

No one could stop us once we get started
Well, i get tired of living for your applause
And putting my happiness in your hands
Well, i don't know what you're expecting of me
What you want for me to be, i will be

I know you're made that way
I know you're made that way

There's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

There's only so much we can be sure of
We can see
The rest belongs to time
And things that are meant to be
When the clouds surround you
And you know you've found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Just like they're here to stay

All through your life
Anything that's meant to be will be
When tomorrow comes
Once again, you'll see

That there's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

When the clouds surround you
And you know you've found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Jut like they're here to stay

Oh, you should know
There ain't much a broken heart can see
When tomorrow hides
The dream beyond this dream

Oh, there's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

So you tell him to say no more
You don't want to know why or where
Where he's been all these lonely nights
You know what's wrong and don't care what's right
As long as he comes back to you
Someone to love him all his life

It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it
It ain't nothing but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it

There's always there comes a day
When love just goes away
When there's no caring, no words to say
There's no forgiving, no games to play
When all you know will get you through
Seems like you've known it all your life

It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it
It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it

Underneath us all
There's a world that we always forget 'til it moves us
Where the moon on the bay dances all alone
Ramone, he draw the razor swift, it slice the air
No more lovely dreams of those summer nights
Down in santo domingo
They laugh and play in the sleepy harbor town
So unaware of the danger that's around

Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line

No one can run when it finally comes down
Nobody knows what is stirrin' underground
Caruso stumbled
While the city tumbled down
The palace was in splinters
Theodore was leaving town
